The Future of European Collaboration: A Cultural Symposium
20 February 2012, Europe House, 32 Smith Square, London, SW1P 3EU
Artichoke invite you to a cultural symposium to mark the culmination of Lux Scientia: a successful trans-national alliance across three European light festivals in 2011. Join us for a series of conversations exploring the future of international artistic collaborations across Europe.
In 2011 Artichoke, producers of LUMIERE in Durham UK, collaborated with Skyway Festival in Poland, and Valgusfestival in Estonia to create a shared programme of work: Lux Scientia. Three artists, Simeon Nelson (UK), Domink Lejman (Poland), and Leonardo Meigas (Estonia), worked with scientists to create installations presented across each festival exploring the relationship between art and science.
This symposium will bring together these artists in conversation with Helen Marriage, co-Director of Artichoke and curator of LUMIERE, to discuss how the co-production influenced the development and interpretation of their work. We are delighted to host visitors from other major European light festivals who, as a discussion panel, will explore how future collaborations across Europe may be developed. We will also hear from the European Culture Fund on how to develop ideas and source funding for all types of artistic co-productions across Europe.
Join us for this free symposium:
